Beschreibung
Subverting Mainstream Narratives in the Reagan Era explores how artists, novelists, and directors were able to present narratives of strong dissent in popular culture during the Reagan Era. Using but subverting the tools of mainstream novels and films, these visionaries’ works were featured alongside other books in major bookstores and promoted alongside blockbusters in movie theatres across the country. Ashley M. Donnelly discusses how the artists accomplished this, why it is so important, and how new artists can use these techniques in today’s homogenous and mundane media.
Analyzes 1980s culture by tying literature and film together with a strong theoretical base Illustrates how blank fiction and cinema interrogate issues of social irresponsibility, rampant consumerism, and the global domination of capitalist values Appeals to popular culture scholars, literature scholars, film scholars, 1980s specialists, film/literature adaptation scholars, and gender scholars alike
